Well, you can see my pastry was too thick... and I think I over-cooked the chocolate and that's why the chocolate tasted a bit bitter. But I had fun swirling the chocolate on the cheese fillings. Although I don't eat cheese but cream cheese for me is still acceptable.

I still remember I baked this tart after my trip to Broga Hill (9th August 2009), and I was baking for my A33 gathering dinner. Erm... Maybe I should try this again... it seems I haven't bake for months.
